Ward without a number one? All QBs like him need a WR1. If you don't have a number one WR you better have athleticism or a strong mental game. JD doesn't win 12 games without Terry. Even Stroud needs a WR1.
Luckily they do let you draft players after you pick a QB and they will even let you draft WRs later in this draft and in upcoming drafts.
I kid, but if you think you see a franchise QB, you draft him whenever you can because you don't know when you will get another shot. You can worry about surrounding them with the players you need once you draft them.
The Saints haven't drafted a QB in the first round since they took Dave Wilson in the supplemental draft in 1981. And, as far as I can tell, they have never taken one in the 2nd round. That's far too long to go without taking a shot at a franchise QB. I don't think Ward is worth what it would take to go up and get him, but we need to draft a QB in the first or second round really soon.
